Random stupid people

I was at GAP queuing at the cashier, waiting to pay for my purchases. It was having a sale and the queue was quite long. When my turn came, this middle-aged auntie cut in and request to skip the queue and pay for her purchases. Apparently, she had hold some items at the counter earlier.

The cashier wanted her to join the queue but she was quite insistent about skipping the queue. Such a moron, I wonder why was she in such a rush, maybe rushing to hell? Anyway, luckily for her, I was in a pretty good mood that day and seeing the cashier was in an awkward position, I was prepared to let it go.

But this moron, which is really a moron, decide to justify for her actions and got me so pissed!

Cashier: I'm sorry, she left some items on the counter earlier, could you let her pay first? (saying somewhere along the line)
Me: (signaled him to go ahead)
Moron Lady (looking at me trying to justify her cutting queue): I had queue earlier just now...
Me(very pissed already upon hearing the super lame excuse): Well, then you should have buy just now what!
Moron Lady: ........ (then turning to the cashier looking fed up) I don't want to buy already! (And then she walk off).

God, she is such a moron. No social graces and throwing a tantrum like a child. I think she must have expected me react like the typical singaporean - keep quiet. But hell no way I'm going to do that.

Firstly, it is already socially wrong to jump the queue. It wouldn't take more than 10 mins to re-queue. Then trying to justify for your lack of social graces? Tsk tsk.

Another thing that got me tickled was the effort by NEL to "improve" on the reserved seat sign. I observe it gets bigger and bigger. Last time it used to say "please give up for the needy" or something like that. Now it have evolved into a bigger sign saying " reserved seat", with a separate big arrow pointing to the seat! It's plain ridiculous. Don't the authority realise the problem does not lies with how prominent the sign is, but the people? Or maybe they are trying to embarrass people to give up their seat? I suggest next time they put spikes on it. Maybe will work better.

I personally wouldn't give up my seat without a good reason and I wouldn't expect someone to give up their seat for me. You can't blame someone for not giving you a seat. It's a good gesture, but it's not a right. It's very tiring to stand all the way on the MRT after work. You are tired carrying around your pregnant tummy, but so is the others from work. You can't measure tiredness on a scale.
